The insect farmer of Konoha who started as a spider

There is a dry stone well three miles southeast of Konoha Village.

It has been a long time and the ancient ruins are mottled.

There used to be a clear spring here, and people who were born for water used to live in lively groups here.

However, as the well dried up, only the ruins of the former bustle remained.

Clumps of grass have taken over the house walls again, leaving only thieving-browed skinny rats and rat-hunting snakes to pass by.

In the quiet nature, a breeze blew over the dry well with the appearance of a figure.

The man's whole body was wrapped in a black robe, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.

He looked around at the scenery, confirmed the location, jumped straight into the dry well.

After a while, he was standing on the soft soil at the bottom of the well.

At the bottom of the narrow well, the green and black well walls, which exuded a rotten smell of mud, almost touched his face.

The man in black did not show any discomfort, but started groping around the walls of the well.

Click!

It seemed that he had touched some mechanism.

After a crisp sound, a portal silently opened to both sides on the stone wall at the bottom of the dry well.

Behind the narrow door is an underground tunnel that can accommodate four people walking side by side. Tiny candles are lit on the walls on both sides, which are like knives and axes. They extend into the invisible darkness.

The man in black robe did not hesitate and stepped into it with ease. The portal of the dry well closed quietly behind him as he entered.

The tunnel is deep and the unknown end gives people the illusion of reincarnation.

After going several hundred meters deep, we saw doors and rooms on the walls of the tunnel, which must have been inhabited.

But this was obviously not the goal of the man in black robe, so he still walked forward in silence.

As the distance went deeper by about a hundred meters, the rooms on the left and right sides of the wall suddenly had no doors, and the openings for entry and exit became particularly wide.

Through the dim light inside, you can clearly see all kinds of strange instruments and countless wooden frames inside.

Glass bottles filled with liquids of various colors were placed on the wooden shelves. There were still things in the bottles. In the darkness, only black shadows could be seen, but no one knew what they were.

The man in black robe rarely stopped for a moment in these places similar to warehouses and laboratories, briefly observed them, and continued walking in the tunnel.

We soon reached the end, and a thick iron door blocked our way.

The man in black robe did not move to knock or open it. When he entered the place, the owner had already discovered him. As long as the other party recognized it, he only needed to wait for a moment.

Crunch~Crack~

The iron door was suddenly opened, and a young man with evil bright yellow snake eyes, long hair, and a pale face appeared behind the door.

Before the man in black robe could look inside, he had already blocked the front and locked the iron door behind him tightly.

"Haha, Danzo-sama can actually find such a place. Gen's intelligence ability really surprises me."

"Are you trying to persuade me to go to the roots again? But as Danzo-sama can see, I'm too busy here to spare any time~"

Orochimaru pretended to be surprised and looked at the melancholy black-robed man in front of him, with a smile on his lips, as if he had discovered something very interesting.

The man in the black robe raised his face, and Danzo's distinctively ugly face flickered in and out of focus under the light.

He now has flat hair, his left eye is covered with a thick white bandage, his face is as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and there seems to be a crazy monster suppressed inside.

"Orochimaru, you're fine."

"I'm bringing you an opportunity for breakthrough research on the life connection of chakra. You should be missing a key sample."

Danzo stared at Orochimaru calmly, observing his every expression and movement.

"Really?"

Orochimaru was noncommittal.

Even if he knew that Danzo's resources might be useful to him, he would not be easily tempted.

Danzo's things are not easy to get.

Ignoring Orochimaru's teasing, Danzo reached into his arms, and a glass test tube filled with an inexplicable green light liquid was held in his hand.

"This is the power of the first generation, have you seen it?"

With enthusiasm flashing in his cold eyes, Danzo placed it in front of Orochimaru who looked shocked.

The first generation is dead, there is no doubt about that.

Where could the power of the first generation come from? In addition to special methods to store the remaining chakra, it can only be extracted from cells.

What shocked Orochimaru was not the power of the first generation, but Danzo's boldness and the old fox's sudden trust!

"First-generation cells? Please take back such a hot thing, Danzo-sama. I can guarantee you haven't seen anything today."

Feeling the strong breath of life, Orochimaru was indeed moved by these first-generation cells, but he still wanted to see Danzo's sincerity and demands.

"Since it's been brought out, if you don't accept it, you will die!"

"I think you, Orochimaru, should not be the type of person who sticks to the old ways."

Although the two have different paths, if anyone in Konoha understands Orochimaru the best, it is probably Danzo.

A ninja is a person who can learn all ninjutsu. This is Orochimaru's ninjutsu.

In order to observe the subtle chakra changes of different ninjutsu, Orochimaru even found a new way to use precise experiments to summarize and simulate various ninjutsu based on data.

This kind of talent is exactly what Danzo needs, and Orochimaru's pursuit of the connection between life and ninjutsu also makes him the most suitable partner.

"It seems that Danzo-sama knows me very well."

"Then what can I gain? And what do I have to pay?"

As the negotiation phase began, Orochimaru's eyes became serious and dangerous.

"Venue, funds, talents, materials, everything you need, I will provide it for you."

"And what you have to do is submit all the research results to me."

Danzo stated his request coldly and looked at Orochimaru.

"Good conditions, I seem to have no reason to refuse."

"But this is a huge expense. Are you sure Danzo-sama can take care of my experiments and roots?"

Conducting experiments was very expensive, and Orochimaru had long wanted to find an enemy to cooperate with.

However, he expressed doubts about Danzo's strength.

"Do your own thing, I don't need you to tell me what to do."

When Danzo mentioned the roots, he couldn't help but think of the red-faced devil, and the hatred and humiliating anger surged out of his heart instantly.

In order to cover up, Danzo turned around in an instant, threw Hashirama's cell to Orochimaru behind, and walked out.

Firmly catching Hashirama's cell, Orochimaru looked at Danzo's back, as if observing an interesting experimental subject, with great interest.

"I heard that Uchiha Madara can control the Nine-Tails on a par with the original."

"The power of the first generation is already so powerful. I don't know when I will be able to see the power of Uchiha and Nine-Tails."

Although he also has a desire to explore the power of the Nine-Tails, Orochimaru said this just to verify one of his conjectures.

If it comes true, there might be something more interesting than research!

Danzo obviously paused, and whispered with contempt: "That kind of evil power! Don't make the mistake of yourself, Orochimaru!"

"Do your own thing and I will keep an eye on you!"

With a hoarse warning, Danzo walked toward the darkness at the end of the tunnel.

Looking at his back, Orochimaru's smile became more joyful.

It is precisely because he transcends the vulgar interests of ordinary people that Orochimaru can clearly see the true nature of each person.

In the tunnel, he seemed to see a man suppressing madness, sinking into the abyss of worship of power.
